September 2022

Welcome to September beloved Solver Users! We have a loaded update for you this month full of some great behind-the-scenes improvements as well as some fun new UI changes to make Solver as convenient and intuitive as possible.

This release brings some significant design changes to the Data Warehouse and Assignment pages that we believe will knock your socks off. Feel free to reach out to support if you have any questions.

Notice of change to External API:

On another note, we have made some changes to the External API so if you have not already, go ahead and toggle this on and off to be able to receive the most up-to-date version of this feature.

Notice of change to Monthly Rates table:

Lastly, we have made a change to the Monthly Rates page that makes it so any business rules used to match fiscal periods with the first month of their fiscal calendar are now unnecessary. For more information on this change, see the notes below or contact Consulting.

New Features

Planning

  • Assignments can now show a rejected status if the approver on the assignment has rejected the submission. Once the assigned user reopens the assignment, the assignment’s status is then changed to in progress.

  • Added the ability to switch from a card view to a list view when displaying Assignments using the icons at the top of the page.
    • New status icons have been introduced to the Assignment page: the clock icon, which indicates that an assignment is under review, and the bell icon, which indicates that an assignment is ready to be worked on.

Fixes

Planning

  • Fixes an issue where users were unable to view all their parameters if they had selected more than would fit on the card at one time.

  • Input flow info view will now display the correct number of iterations for a template in a flow.

  • Fixes an issue where the Stop button was available even if there was no active input flow.

  • Fixes an issue where users were able to publish to workflows that they do not own.

  • Fixes an issue where selecting ‘Let the user decide’ when creating parameters sent the workflow to the completed tab.

Process Manager

  • Fixed an issue where the due-date timestamp would not properly set.

  • Design changes have been made to make the due-date calendar in the Process Manager easier to read and navigate.

  • Fixes a display issue with long URLs on the Process Details page.

Administration

  • Translations have been updated across the application for validation error notifications.
    • Example: When trying to store data, if an input flow is being executed for the same report or in the case of trying to rename a template if the template does not exist or the name is already taken.

  • Fixes an issue where enabling/disabling the external API would temporarily display the incorrect modules selected.
